I'm hoping they'll do Calamity Trigger Novel and not the game, and some parts of Phase Shift for flashbacks. The CT Novel expands more on the siblings background and the extended church tragedy was beautiful. Narrative structure would also be easier to follow.

That can easily conflict with any of the previous source materials, (phase 0, Calamity Trigger, Continuum Shift or Chrono Phantasma)

Besides why do you even need something original, when you already have so much things to work with?

You're missing the fact that Phase 0 was an original light novel that had it's own narrative instead of simply following Calamity Trigger or Continuum Shift's story directly.

That's all I'm suggesting they do: write a story that expands on something in the universe without following the game's events to the letter, because not only is that difficult to adapt, but Calamity Trigger's convoluted plot makes it even more difficult.

Spoiler for spoiler:

because not only is that difficult to adapt, but Calamity Trigger's circular plot with time loops makes it even more difficult.

You might want to put that part in spoilers incase people who haven't played the game read this

Phase 0 was meant as a prequel to Calamity Trigger and it did follow Calamity trigger alot

Spoiler:

because it was about the events that did happen in the game but weren't told, such as the war against the black beast, about "bloodedge" , how the 6 heroes came together plus the creation of the "Archenemies" and possibly the Murokamo units as well
